Excuse the bump, but I've been off the Internet for weeks and upon hearing this I have to bump it.

FREAKIN DEADPOOL! He's my most favorite comic book character of all time! Huge fan of him. As long as they get his insane persona character right, I'm definitely buying this. Here's hoping Nolan North is voicing him.

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) has officially given a rating to the upcoming Deapool video game and it is none other than 'Mature.' Their listed reasons for said rating are: "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Mature Humor, Sexual Content, Strong Language."

They also detailed why it received this rating:

Battles are frenetic and accompanied by screams of pain, gunfire, and large blood-splatter effects.Some attacks result in dismemberment or decapitations; body parts and bloodstains can be seen on the ground.Players can also employ stealth attacks, in which close-up camera angles depict more severe damage against enemies.Throughout the game, the protagonist provides irreverent commentary and jokes amidst the exaggerated acts of violence (e.g., “No guts no glory” when hanging from his entrails; “Oh that's gonna leave a mark” when dismembering an enemy; “That's because you have more comics than me” when repeatedly beating a character on the ground). The dialogue also contains mature humor, sexual material and innuendoOther instances of mature humor include an extended toilet scene and the pumping up of an inflatable doll.

So it sounds exactly like the Deadpool video game that fans want. The ESRB also revealed a quick description of the game, hinting at what the game's story consists of:

"This is an action-adventure game based on characters from the Deadpool comic book franchise. Players assume the role of Deadpool, a mercenary on a mission to hunt down and capture an evil millionaire. As players traverse enemy strongholds, they use an assortment of melee weapons (swords, sais, giant hammers) and firearms (pistols, machine guns, shotguns) to kill human soldiers and mutant enemies."

In the upcoming third-person shooter, you play as Deadpool in an all new adventure written by long time "Deadpool" scribe Daniel Way.

Deadpool will be available later this year for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Sweet that's nice to hear. I really hope the gore is something like the Wolverine game. That was a fantastic gory game.

It's being described as a third-person shooter? I can see this being a mix of Saints Row and Devil May Cry. Wacky and stylish at the same time. This is the only game I'm looking forward to this year to be honest.
